There was a meeting between VESA and a delegation of experts from Japan at VESA’s office on this morning, January 12, 2023. The experts are representatives from agencies/organizations including: Global Environmental Center Foundation (GEC), Daicen Membrane Systems Company and Osaka Industrial University.

At the meeting, Mr. Tetsuo Minami, Head of International Cooperation Department – GEC introduced an overview of the project “Promoting wastewater reduction and water reuse through membrane treatment for wastewater containing high concentration oil in Vietnam”. He said that the feasibility of the project is being carefully evaluated through many visits and working with many parties in Vietnam. This is the 3rd visit which is also considered as the last working trip to end the fiscal year 2022 of Japan.

Next, Dr. Shuji Nakatsuka, the representative of Daicen company briefly introduced the scale and field of operation of his company. He detailed the operating technology of the tubular membrane filter module, which is suitable for industrial plants where the production wastewater contains high oil content, small and medium capacity, less than 10m3/day. Accordingly, the water after treatment is of reusable quality and concentrated water – then it will be treated like industrial waste. This contributes significantly in reducing the burden of hazardous waste disposal costs.

VESA has made a point of assessment that this is a new, advanced and highly feasible technology for Korean and Taiwanese FDI enterprises located in large industrial zones in the North of Vietnam. VESA is very eager and confident with its resources and many years of experience in the field of wastewater and clean water treatment, which can become a reliable partner in deploying, applying and popularizing tubular membrane technology in Vietnam.

At the end of the meeting, the two sides exchanged meaningful souvenirs and took intimate photos, promising good cooperation opportunities in the future.
